Lloyd Bridges is touring in Spain, trying to get over the death of his wife. He runs into Peter Dynely, a war buddy from the RAF. They have a few drinks in between Dynely's unspecified business meetings, Dynely introduces Bridges to some friends, including Finlay Currie and Maureen Swanson, and lends him his car to drive back to London. Then he disappears. Bridges tries to interest the authorities, but they hint at something dark.
I enjoy movies that take their time getting to shooting match, but there needs to be a sense of progress, either towards chaos or a solution... or at least some diverting incidents or scenery. This movie doesn't work out that way. It's 63 minutes in length, and it isn't until more than halfway through that Dynely's disappearance is established, and then another 25 before anything significant happens. While there's some good scenery, including Miss Swanson, Spain consists of Bray Studios with a couple of medium long shots from the library. It's another unfortunately underwritten movie with a director -- Daniel Birt -- who seems unable to come up with ways of making the time pass more interestingly.
